Chapter 464: North Korea as a Dead
Ideals and sentiments have never been the driving force of human behavior. No matter how noble and great a person is, it is difficult for them to completely get rid of low-level tastes.
It is precisely because of this clear understanding that Wang Shuhui will provide financial subsidies to government officials through the establishment of a clean government fund. By restricting the investment direction of the anti-corruption fund, Wang Shuhui tied the anti-corruption fund with scientific and technological research and development.
According to the provisions of the "Anti-Corruption Fund Investment Law" of the People's Republic of China, in addition to receiving the basic salary of skilled workers at the same level during their tenure, government officials at all levels in the People's Republic of China can also receive and can only receive dividends from the high-tech industries invested by the state in accordance with the provisions of the "Anti-corruption Fund Investment Law" as bonuses.
In this way, in addition to whether or not they strictly abide by party discipline and state law in their work, the bonuses paid by the new Chinese government officials are closely integrated with the country's scientific research and development and technological progress.
As a result, all government officials in New China had to pay attention to the country's scientific and technological development and promote the country's scientific and technological progress. Because the country's scientific and technological development and scientific and technological progress, especially the application of new technologies, are directly linked to their economic benefits.
Later generations often have a very positive impression of the Korean kingdom when studying the history of East Asia during the Ming and Qing dynasties. The memory of the grace of the rebuilding of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty in the historical materials of the Lee family has always been the focus of propaganda by some nationalists.
In the words of some, as a member of the Chinese cultural system, the Joseon Kingdom behaved more like a filial son and grandson, and they always respected and revered the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty showed a comprehensive learning and inheritance characteristic.
In addition to the cultural depression caused by the long-term war, the Wa Kingdom, which was defeated by the Tang Empire in the Battle of Baijiangkou, was once again delirious after about a thousand years of honesty, preparing to attack the Ming Dynasty after the fall of Korea.
It was only after the defeat that the Wa Kingdom, which was once again hit by China, finally came to its senses and returned to those small islands to continue to be honest.
Because of the emergence of Wang Shuhui and the rise of the Baathistist Party, around 1630, the First Fleet of the Baath Navy and the Third Fleet of the Baath Party began to frequent Korea and the Wa Kingdom.
On the one hand, the Baath Navy used giant ships and cannons as the lingua franca to "persuade" the two countries to open their countries, which led China to start proxy trade with Korea and the Japanese state, and began to dump industrial products on the two countries in an unprecedented way. On the other hand, in order to solve the imbalance between men and women caused by the war, the Baath Navy liberated a large number of Korean and Japanese women who were severely discriminated against and oppressed, and united them with Chinese workers who had a clear idea of equality between men and women and were able to fully respect women.
It would be wrong for later generations to think that the Koreans would stubbornly resist the dumping of industrial products in New China because of their respect for Confucianism and Taoism and the Japanese because of their martial spirit.
Whether it was the two classes of nobles in Korea or the local daimyo in Japan, as the feudal ruling class, they were not as extraordinary in their actual actions as those later historians who were also members of the ruling class.
Although the Baath Navy's use of giant ships and cannons demonstrated the majesty and hegemony of the Heavenly Kingdom, which made the ruling classes of both the Korean Kingdom and the Japanese Kingdom very uncomfortable, the "comprador support action" that came with the giant ships and cannons of the Heavenly Kingdom was strongly welcomed by the ruling classes of the two countries.
The ruling classes of Korea and the Japanese state, which lacked a sense of modern national consciousness, may have been unable to have a sense of sovereignty on the one hand, and on the other hand, they may have been helpless in the face of the armed forces of New China, which had transcended the times; in any case, they not only did not express any strong dissatisfaction with the behavior of the armed forces of the Baath Party in seizing the northern part of Korea and the entire Hokkaido region, but also, in order to gain more support from the new China, they also presided over and promoted the signing of a large number of treaties and documents on land and concessions between the governments of the two countries and the new China.
Because of the prosperous trade with the new China, and because of the relatively advanced single-commodity, single-region agency system of the Ba'ath Party, for a period of time, Korea and the Wa Kingdom, which had been in a state of chaos for a long time because of party strife and civil war, actually fully divided their respective spheres of influence in their own countries based on the Baath Party's rigorous and reasonable regional agency system, and thus began to enter a period of relative stability and quiet.
What makes a good son? I have to say that North Korea is such a good son.
Unlike the rulers of the Joseon Dynasty in the original history, who had an ambiguous and resistant attitude towards the Manchu Dynasty that replaced the Ming Dynasty, because the Joseon Kingdom, from the royal family to the two classes of nobles, were all dumping industrial products of the Baath Party, and obtained huge profits by monopolizing Sino-Korean trade, the literati and doctors who controlled the 'form' of the Joseon Dynasty ideology really spared no effort to propagate and advocate the Zhonghua Dynasty and Emperor Wang Shuhui, who replaced the Ming Dynasty.
Among the various departments of the Central Council, the Foreign Affairs Committee is an inconspicuous department. The main members of this department are young people who have been trained at the grassroots level for several years after graduating from the School of Administration (technical secondary school).
Speaking of which, not only are they unfamiliar with diplomatic work, but in fact they are not very familiar with any kind of work. Fortunately, they are all professionals who have completed six years of compulsory education and three years of secondary education, so compared with other veteran comrades in the party, they are more active and flexible in diplomatic work.
As the deputy director of the Foreign Affairs Committee, Yang Aimin once did not understand the performance of the Joseon Dynasty. He told Wang Shuhui his doubts.
"Teacher, the Kingdom of Korea, like the Nam Ming regime, was a reactionary regime in which the feudal ruling class composed of big landlords and big bureaucrats exploited and oppressed the masses of the people in the country. However, it is also the national policy of our country's land state, and we have a full understanding of our country's anti-feudal and anti-exploitation people's democratic system, but why did the Korean kingdom not import paper and printing equipment to attack our country in public opinion and culture like the Nam Ming regime, but instead expressed such submission to our country in the face of the loss of our country? ”
Wang Shuhui smiled after listening to Yang Aimin's questions in standard textbook language, and said to him:
"All political, military, and cultural issues are, in the final analysis, economic. As a diplomat, you should especially keep this in mind. Just because our country is not afraid of using force in its foreign relations, you should not think that the use of force to promote diplomacy is the whole of diplomatic work. Let me ask you, what is the ultimate purpose of our country's armed action against the Japanese and North Korea? ”
Hearing the teacher's question, Yang Aimin, who was just 24 years old, immediately replied:
"The main purpose of our government's foreign actions is to serve the people. Through foreign work, on the one hand, we will bring advanced industrial products to foreign people, and on the other hand, we will obtain economic benefits for our people through foreign trade. What is more important is that the party not only wants to improve and transform the ideological and cultural quality of the Chinese people, but also has the obligation to enable the people of all countries in the world to enjoy the advanced and convenient industrial civilization, to popularize and propagate the advanced civilization to the masses of the people in backward areas, and to lead them to a more civilized and advanced social stage. ”
After listening to Yang Aimin's words, Wang Shuhui sighed in his heart and continued to say to him:
"The basic principles of our country's foreign affairs are the same as the basic principles of our party's foreign affairs. This basic principle is self-reliance. ”
"What does it mean to be self-centered? This is mainly about me, which means that as long as we can achieve our goals in diplomatic work, then we don't need to test what the diplomatic object thinks. ”
That is to say, as long as foreign trade can be unimpeded, as long as foreign trade can be carried out smoothly, for the people of our country to obtain benefits, so that foreign people can enjoy advanced industrial products, then those foreign governments are feudal or what kind of government, and those governments are obedient or antagonistic to our country, then there is no need to consider. Because the dissemination of advanced civilization and culture is a matter of secondary to the acquisition of benefits for our own people. ”
Yang Aimin has taken Wang Shuhui's class, and he has a certain understanding of his teacher. Like all teachers, Mr. Wang Shuhui, Chairman of the China Renaissance Party, Chairman of the Central People's Government, and General Political Commissar of the China Renaissance Army, always guides students to review what they have learned in the past when answering students' questions, and hides the answers to questions in the explanation and analysis of what they already know.
For Yang Aimin, Wang Shuhui has fully answered his questions. Focusing on myself means putting the interests of our people and our national interests first. No matter which country, what government, whether the government of this country or that country is deferential and humble or unruly, as long as it can sell China's industrial products in this country to obtain benefits for the Chinese people, then other issues do not need to be considered.
In terms of foreign relations, neither Wang Shuhui himself nor the Baath Party government has any big idea of external expansion at this stage. Unlike those feudal dynasties in the past, Wang Shuhui and the Baath Party focused on the transformation of the masses and the industrialization of the country.
At the present stage, there are still tens of millions of people in southern China who will need to be educated, trained, and reformed in the next few years. Therefore, Wang Shuhui and the Ba'ath Party have little interest in North Korea, which has a population of several million, and the Wa Kingdom, which has a population of tens of millions.
As long as these countries honestly accept their fate and honestly trade with China. For a while, the Baath Party really couldn't find their heads.
Although Wang Shuhui and the Ba'ath Party are busy with domestic construction and are steadily preparing for the reception of southern China, the North Koreans themselves are not very honest.
The so-called eternal death of the deceased.
The interests of the landlord class in the northern part of Korea were touched by the fact that the Baath Party carried out land reform in some areas of the barren land in the Pyongan and Hamgyeong-do areas that it had actually occupied, and divided the already very barren land equally among the local Korean masses.
As a result, some small landlords who were not very sober and had a little sick brains actually gathered local ruffians and armed forces to attack the local offices of the Ba'ath Party. A Chinese clerk on the ground was killed in the chaos.
Even in this serious situation, Wang Shuhui, who has a relatively strong chauvinistic tendency in his bones, is not particularly angry. He just asked the North Korean side to take the issue seriously, hand over the murderers to the Baath Party, and let the Ba'ath Party deal with these bastards according to the law.
But what Wang Shuhui and the Baath government did not expect was that several of these murderers were not only the disciples of the so-called Eastern Confucian Song Shilie, but also a few people who were directly relatives of Song Shilie.
It's also really interesting to say. When the land was occupied and the people were plundered, the rulers of Korea did business with the Baath Party as if nothing had happened, but when the issue involved the vital interests of Song Si-yeol, a figure who represented the consciousness and form of the Joseon Dynasty, the whole matter became a very meaningless conflict of consciousness and form.
As the teacher of the king of Joseon, Song Siyeol, who had a great influence among the two classes of nobles, actually used this incident as an excuse to start agitating the upper echelons of the Joseon Dynasty to break with the Baath Party in terms of ideology and form.
In fact, in the final analysis, this matter was a misunderstanding of the land policy of the Baath Party and the nature of the new China by the upper echelons of the Joseon Dynasty.
When the Korean envoys who came to pay tribute to the new China saw the emperors and officials of the People's Democratic Empire wearing a modified version of the classical Hanfu dress at the state ceremonies, they subjectively assumed that the Heavenly Dynasty was still the ancient empire guided by Confucianism. When they saw the Ba'ath Party's state farms, they thought that the Ba'ath Party's policy of state ownership of land was to use the sign of state ownership of land, and then officials at all levels would occupy and develop the land themselves.
Since there was little production of small peasants in northern China, especially in the northeast and north of China, who had divided land and worked alone through land reform, the Korean envoys regarded the Baath Party's land policy as nothing more than the former military and civilian policies.
Under these circumstances, especially under the influence of the Baath Party's self-centered ideology on foreign relations, the Korean envoys, who had not received an effective explanation, had not undergone actual investigation, and had not carefully understood it, naturally thought that the Heavenly Dynasty was still the same Heavenly Dynasty, and that there had only been a slight change in the clothing system.
Therefore, when the Ba'ath Party implemented the policy of dividing the land into households in some parts of northern Korea (the Baath Party did not promote this kind of small-scale peasant economy in the country, and organized the local people to establish communes for collective production even in areas that were not suitable for large-scale farms), the feudal rulers of the Joseon Kingdom, who were seriously stimulated, became very violent.
After receiving such a report, Wang Shuhui contemptuously said to the members of the Central Committee at the meeting of the Central Committee:
"Because the land in the North Korean region is barren and the production conditions are relatively poor, we are also prepared not to make too many changes to the North Korean state for the time being. But now it seems that the reactionaries are reactionaries everywhere and in every country, and whether or not our Baath Party ignores them, as long as they find out about the progressiveness of our Ba'ath Party and the people's stand, then they will definitely jump out and die. ”
"Let's take a look at the report of the Foreign Trade Commission. This report tells us that after four or five years of development, there is no more potential for trade in the North Korean region at this stage. ”
"In the financially backward regions of Korea, the social wealth represented by precious metals was concentrated in the hands of the landlord class. The purchasing power of the common people has been completely exhausted. ”
"Under these circumstances, it has almost become an inevitable trend to inspire and lead the Korean people to carry out an agrarian revolution, carry out land reform in the Korean region, and deprive the social wealth concentrated in the hands of the landlord class for the construction of the people's livelihood of the Chinese people and the people's livelihood of the Korean people."
"Therefore, we should immediately start a comprehensive transformation of the North Korean region. Let's take this renovation of the Korean region as a rehearsal for us to take over the southern region! ”
